Greetings, fellow RSCEmulation players! I'm writing this in regards to any speculation some of you may have about the future of our server.
First, I want to personally thank each and every one of you for your continued support as we journey deeper into developing and maintaining RSCEmulation. Without you all, we wouldn't be here. ALL of you are valued members and we certainly aim to please.
Secondly, I'd like to address the speculation and concerns some of you may have in regards to our server in its current state. We are HERE to stay. I will repeat that as often as needed. There has already been a lot of time, dedication, and money invested into the server, and this trend will not cease, so long as we continue to garner your support. Pyru has done a fabulous job resurrecting V3 so far, and although we still have a few things to tend to, I am more than confident that he is leading us to the destination we'd all like to be in. I'd like to now personally ask of all of you for your valued patience as Pyru puts the finishing touches on some of the updates scheduled in the near future. If you're curious as to what is on the agenda currently, it is as followed:
- Revamping & releasing the NEW website. This is a tedious, yet cautious situation; as it cannot be released until it is both COMPLETE & SECURE. Security is of the utmost importance to the Staff here, and we will not risk anybody compromising what has been built & achieved.
- Revising the current combat formula into something more effective & efficient. We're looking at YOU, PKers & Stakers. We want to revise the formula to better suit what everybody wants: accurate and effective damage, and something that more closely resembles what was implemented in the past.
- Landscape Overhaul. I think we can all agree that the V1 landscape was the most popular and enjoyable of the layouts. We will be reverting back to the V1 landscape, and attempting to mimic the original Classic map as closely as possible (with the exception of amenities like portals, caves, lairs, etc.)
- Releasing the NEW Viking NPC Boss. I know I'm not alone when I state my excitement for this new NPC to be released. The NPC model and graphics are completed. We would like, however, to give this new guy the attention he deserves, which includes his own lair (similar to how the King Black Dragon is). Upon completion, this boss will be something you guys can team up with friends on, and gunning for a chance at obtaining the ultra-rare Viking Helmet.
- ADVERTISEMENT. This will be something that will hold high priority as we look to welcome both new players & players from the closing of original RuneScape Classic. You may even run into some of these guys in-game, please be both generous and helpful as they make the transition into a private server. As SOON as the NEW website is released, we will be ramping up and heavily targeting new players to join our ranks. It is also more than appreciated should any of you current players want to help with this area. Word of mouth is powerful, and we all possess the ability to attract new players.
I would like to ask ALL of you to please have patience with the ETA of these new (and VERY important changes). Our Moderators will be hosting daily events in the meantime to help alleviate some of the anxiety. Pyru is doing a LOT behind-the-scenes, and patience with these changes is of the utmost importance and by far the most appreciated thing you can give. I ask that you TRUST the ongoing process, and know that things are going to be on an upward trend. I can promise you, the results will pay off and we will be here for the long haul.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMUNITY. Serving this community is a BLESSING and a LOT of fun for us, and we appreciate ALL of you for choosing us as your #1 Classic Private Server.
